Flying to Miami
Miami is reached via Opa-Locka (KOPF), the business airport north of the bay, base to Signature and Fontainebleau Aviation. Paris–Miami is a long transatlantic crossing of nine to ten hours, reserved for ultra-long-range jets; from Europe, a technical stop is sometimes needed depending on load. Demand peaks in winter, when Florida draws those escaping the cold, and during the major art and boat shows.
Opa-Locka serves Miami Beach, Brickell and the marinas in under thirty minutes, base to handlers used to an international clientele. The transatlantic crossing needs an ultra-long-range jet, sometimes a technical stop depending on load and winds. Winter draws Europeans escaping the cold, and the major art and boat shows concentrate demand into a few weeks.
On the ground, handling at Opa-Locka is provided by leading FBOs — Signature and Fontainebleau Aviation — for reception, formalities and boarding a few steps from the aircraft.

Which aircraft suits a flight to Miami?
For Miami, the distance points to a large-cabin, long-range aircraft — a Gulfstream, a Bombardier Global or a Dassault Falcon — able to reach the destination non-stop, with a stand-up cabin, berthing and transcontinental range. For a few passengers on a shorter leg, a super-midsize such as the Challenger 350 or Praetor 600 still fits. Our advisors size the aircraft to your passenger count, baggage and exact route, never the other way around.
